1 WWF BALTIC ECOREGION PROGRAMME WWF BALTIC SEA FARMER OF THE YEAR AWARD Criteria and Nomination Form 2018 WWF, in cooperation with farmer organizations from around the Baltic Sea, is launching its 2018 competition to highlight best practices in Baltic-friendly farming and to recognize farmers who are advancing innovative measures to reduce nutrient runoff from their farms. The competition will select a national winner of the Baltic Sea Farmer of the Year Award from each country around the Baltic Sea. The winners of each national competition will all re ceive a certificate and a nomi nal mone tary award of 1,000 Euros. The nine national winners will serve as the nominees from which the international jury will select one main re gional winner to be the 2018 Regional Baltic Sea Farmer of the Year. The Regional winner will re ceive a certificate and a mone tary award of 10,000 Euros. The competition will therefore produce 9 winners, or nation al nominees, who will demon strate a range of best practices that will be showcased for the entire region as well as high lighted in their national media. A conference will be held at the end of the competition inviting the nine winning farmers, plus public and private sector representa tives, to discuss ways in which to advance the application of environ mentally friendly farm ing more widely. All national winners will be celebrated and the regional winner announced. Farmers can help save the Baltic Sea by reducing nutrient outputs from their farms and taking steps toward sustainable agriculture. The Award, created in 2009, is intended to inspire farmers from the entire Baltic region to take active part in combating eutrophication.
2 CRITERIA NOMINEE Farmers can nominate themselves or be nominated by a third party. It is important that both male and female farmers are nominated. The nominee does not have to be an individual, but can also be a family farm or a farm enterprise. GEOGRAPHICAL CRITERIA The nominee(s) must operate within the Baltic Sea catchment area. ECONOMIC CRITERIA a. The competition will be limited to professional farmers i.e. farmers who derive their income from agricultural production (i.e. animal husbandry and/or plant cultivation). b. A wide range of applicants are encouraged to apply i.e. farms can be small to large scale farms focused on either traditional conventional production or kept organic. Farms with or without animals can apply. ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA a. Nominee(s) must have undertaken concrete measures to reduce nutrient emissions from their farm. Nutrient emissions include both nutrient leaching to water and gaseous losses as ammonia emissions from manure. b. Nominee(s) cannot have any problems with fulfilling the minimum legislative environmental standards or have any juridical process ongoing concerning environmental protection, animal welfare, labour protection or other relevant legislation. c. The measures undertaken to reduce nutrient emissions should be innovative or even extraordinary with reference to national context and standard. The nominee(s) should be able to be demonstrate the effect of these measures on reducing eutrophication. This means that the farmer: I. may have invented, tested or practiced his/her own successful measures to reduce nutrient emissions and can demonstrate the benefits of this. II. might be using conventional, well proven measures but applying them in a large scale. III. may be able to measure the effects or be somewhat of a pioneer in his/her area for a new technique which is promising but not yet able to be measured. IV. might not fit in perfectly to any of the criteria above but is a good ambassador for applying effective methods to reducing nutrient emissions from their farm. OTHER BENEFICIAL ASPECTS The base criteria for the award focus on measures taken to reduce eutrophication. Other important issues related to farming, while not a priority, will be given additional consideration and appreciated as added benefits in the contest. These can include the following: I. reduction of the use of pesticides II. reduction of climate gas emissions or other climate adaption measures III. measures that facilitate the conservation of biological diversity IV. educational efforts and/or serving as a positive example to inspire other farmers.
3 WWF is working with national contacts in each Baltic Sea country to promote the competition and organize national juries that review the nominations and decide on the national winners.
